The Rental Disputes Center holds a coordination meeting with Dubai Police General Command (11 April 2017)

The Rental Disputes Center of Dubai (RDC) – the judicial arm of the Dubai Land Department – has organised a coordination meeting with the Dubai Police General Command. The meeting took place at RDC headquarters and was chaired by H.E. Judge Abdulqader Moosa Abdulrahman, Chairman of RDC, in the presence of Brigadier Saeed Hamad Mohammad bin Sulaiman, Director of Al Rashidiya Police Station; Brigadier Ali Ahmad Abdulla Ghanim, Director of Al Muraqabat Police Station; and Major Rashed Matar Saif AlJabri, Director of Government Communication Department.

During the meeting, the attendees discussed the important role played by the Dubai Police General Command in offering assistance if property occupants are wronged by landlords who do not act in compliance with Article (34) of Law No. (26) 2007, which outlines the legal relationship between real estate landlords and tenants in the Emirate of Dubai.

H.E. Judge Abdulqader Moosa Abdulrahman, Chairman of RDC, commented: "The RDC in Dubai appreciates the important role the Dubai Police General Command plays in helping us to achieve stability in Dubai's real estate environment. This meeting reflects our commitment to cooperating with our strategic partners across all services provided by RDC to make the rental sector a secure environment and bring happiness to all residents of the Emirate, based on trust in the effective judicial sector. We are confident that this cooperation with the Dubai Police will help us achieve this goal. "

This initiative furthers the Emirate's strategy of stabilising the rental sector in the real estate market, achieving happiness among all residents, and protecting their rights. It also helps to highlight the role Dubai Police plays to limit the damage inflicted on tenants by landlords and to establish and verify the details of the dispute.
